  • Terrain Features and Architecture of Wolverine (Gulo gulo) Resting Burrows and Reproductive Dens on Arctic Tundra

    Open AccessThomas W Glass, Greg A Breed et al.ARTICLEARCTIC2022

    Burrowing species rely on subterranean and subnivean sites to fulfill important life-history and behavioral processes, including predator avoidance, thermoregulation, resting, and reproduction. For these species, burrow architecture can affect the quality and success of such processes, since characteristics like tunnel width and chamber depth influence access by predators, thermal insulation, and energy spent digging. Wolverines (Gulo gulo) livin…

  • Climate change, moose, and subsistence harvest

    Open AccessJiake Zhou, Gary P Kofinas et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2022

    Assessing the impact of a rapidly warming climate on subsistence-based livelihoods in the Arctic is critical for building resilience for rural communities. We used a social-ecological system (SES) framework to evaluate the possible range of changes in moose abundance, distribution, and harvesting for Nuiqsut, a small native community in northern Alaska. Our results indicate that within the area used for hunting by the village, moose (Alces alces)…

  • Exploring stakeholder communication within a caribou hunting system of Arctic Alaska

    Scott Leorna, Todd Brinkman et al.ARTICLEHuman Dimensions of Wildlife2019

    The Central Arctic Caribou (Rangifer tarandus) Herd (CACH) of Arctic Alaska rapidly declined (approximately 70%) between 2010–2016, which has generated hunter concerns and more conservative hunting regulations. Stakeholders expressed interest in exploring opportunities for a more effective exchange of information to facilitate management. We conducted a survey to identify hunters’ insights into CACH dynamics and to estimate the extent and effecti…

  • Team Building on Dangerous Ice

    Open AccessWilliam Schneider, Karen Brewster et al.ARTICLEARCTIC2015

    399 T PAPER DESCRIBES HOW A TEAM of local river travelers and academic researchers documented the shifting ice conditions on an interior Alaskan river, learned from each other and from shared experiences on the ice, and created products that represented this learning. From 2004 to 2012, with funding from the National Science Foundation and led by Knut Kielland and William Schneider, the Dangerous Ice Project investigated winter ice conditions on …

  • Edaphic and microclimatic controls over permafrost response to fire in interior Alaska

    Open AccessDana R Nossov, M Torre Jorgenson et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    Discontinuous permafrost in the North American boreal forest is strongly influenced by the effects of ecological succession on the accumulation of surface organic matter, making permafrost vulnerable to degradation resulting from fire disturbance. To assess factors affecting permafrost degradation after wildfire, we compared vegetation composition and soil properties between recently burned and unburned sites across three soil landscapes (rocky u…

  • Reindeer Herding in Transition

    Open AccessGreg Finstad, Greg L Finstad et al.ARTICLENomadic Peoples2006

    The people of northwestern Alaska have had a long relationship with local populations of Rangifer tarandus. During the last 200 years this relationship has changed from one of subsistence to overexploitation of caribou (the name for wild reindeer in North America), to commercial livestock production of semi domesticated reindeer and now may be returning to a subsistence economy based on caribou. Reindeer were introduced to Alaska in 1892 because …

  • Factors in the Adaptation of Reindeer Herders to Caribou on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska

    William Schneider, K Kielland et al.ARTICLEArctic Anthropology2005

    Over the last century, reindeer herding has provided a major economic base in Eskimo villages on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska, and has come to represent an important dimension of Native cultural identity. As a result of the current population explosion of caribou from the Western Arctic Caribou Herd, along with a shift in the herd's migratory patterns, reindeer ranges that were free of caribou for generations are now being flooded by tens of thou…
